Read moreI decided to reserve this hotel on the recommendation of my friends who were greeted with hospitality and high service in this place. Unfortunately, due to the current situation with COVID - 19, all international flights from my country were canceled, and the strictest quarantine has started in Greece. All my hopes for the journey were over. Hopes to return the money were also low, because, despite the state of emergency in the world, booking.com left the last decision to the hotel owner. To my surprise, this dear and kind woman - the owner of the hotel, contacted me and returned the full amount of the reservation without delay. She explained to me that this is against their beliefs and does not correspond to her nature - to collect money without services, especially in such a difficult time. I look forward to the end of this frightening pandemic and wish both of us to meet soon in this wonderful place. I am sure that the high honesty and decency of the owner corresponds to the level of service and emotions that you will receive when booking here. I wish the owner prosperity and to greet new guest as soon, as this epidemic is over - to let people soak and bask in the majesty of Greek sun, in a...
Read moreMy brother and I are from Canada and visited Malia for 13 days, we planned on staying for 1 month but had a family emergency back home. Illiana and Giannis care about the people who stay here, they really care. If you want to stay in a clean, beautiful place look no further. Iliana and Giannis will have your back at every turn, they will make sure you don't pay too much for things, and give you the best advice about local trips. If you want to relax in your room you can walk outside and grab a well made drink from Giannis at the bar. Illiana cleans the rooms very well, and even washed and dried our clothes when we asked! Their daughter is also someone who shouldn't go unnoticed, she is so friendly. You can expect a cute "Hello!" every time you return to Olympus. 8 guess thays what to expect when you have such amazing parents as role models. This is a family owned property that stays true to family values. I highly recommend Olympus Studios, just watch out for the Brits ripping down the streets on their quads! ||||I will say with confidence, we have met our new Greek family here. We will do anything possible to come...
